I’m a Bay Area native. I’m a full time agent who works in both Sonoma and Napa Valley.  As a young adult I first managed a small business my parents owned, and later took over ownership. For 18 years I learned that true success came from placing the client first, and listening for and addressing their unspoken concerns. I closed the business in order to complete my degree at UC Berkeley in the history of art, with an emphasis on the history and evolution of domestic architecture. I became a REALTOR(R) in 1999 to combine my love of homes and my passion for helping clients. I served on the boards of both the Oakland and the North Bay Association of REALTORS(R), including a year as President for each Association. I have also served at the State level as a Regional Chair and the Chair of the RPA Study Group of the California Association of Realtors that produced the new 2021 Residential Purchase Agreement (RPA). I continue to serve as C.A.R. Director and work as a full-time REALTOR(R) helping clients in Sonoma and Napa buy and sell their homes.
